This is for the Mayor. When people use See Click Fix they are reporting issues they care about. As I understand the city purchased this App to make it easier to report issues and the city was interested in input from citizens/tax payers/your employers. Well when an issue is reported and nothing happens other then a notice stating "Complaint forwarded to Parks & Recreation Maintenance Staff." or something similar it sounds good, but when NOTHING happens and no actual real feedback is given to report back on the issue, one becomes a bit discouraged. If the city really wants and cares about people comments then you need to take them seriously. You need to have someone accountable for the reported issue and someone needs to actually hold those people accountable to address the comment/complaint and give that individual a report back. The police have started to do this well with the texting app. Why can't the city do this with SeeClickFix? Do you really care? It appears not, but please show us, the tax payers that is not the case. This can be a great platform (if the software were to function better) to help the city, but you can't just ask the citizens to do our part when the city is not doing theirs. I have reported the lights on during the day at Millennium Youth Playground many times. Please have someone actually do something. That something does not have to actually fix the problem, but don't just forward the issue on. Have someone by name state it will be fix, it is not approirity, or whatever the case may be. Then quarterly or yearly audit some of these issues/complaint and see how people are performing. Are they giving a response? Are they fixing problems. PLEASE make someone accountable. More than stating the issue was forwarded on is needed. Will this complaint just be erased by someone in city government that does not want to have to be held accountable? This is not too much to ask. Please, step up and make this program better. Thanks.

Wednesday a large group of people gathered for a meal at Mirror Lake. After the event there was a quantity of trash all around the trash can near 6th street. If the recipients of this kindness cannot or will not pick up after themselves, perhaps the providers need to hang out for clean up.

Google announced plans to roll out super-fast broadband in test communities around the United States. "Google will seek input from communities that might be interested in getting one of its test networks." Our Mayor's Office should be ALL OVER this as a way to stimulate the local technology economy FOR FREE.

Ever since Irma, the street lights by the shuffleboard club are either off or very weak. It's hard to see when you're walking. It is very dark on the sidewalk by the club.

I'm a 55 year old man and I have lived and/or worked in the biggest cities in the US. I have lived all over the US as well. I moved here to St. Pete on year ago from Hoboken NJ and I worked in Manhattan for 9 years. I now live in ICON Central. The number and noise level of the sirens downtown are unreal to me. How can anyone live here and not just want to leave? Why are there so many? It's a small city if you compare it to say Philly or NYC or even Boston where I lived, yet the sires are non-stop. Your downtown area is growing and they are building more and more high rise and HIGH PRICE places for professionals to live. Nobody wants to have to close their windows because sirens are going by up to 10 times (I have counted) a day. I'm sure if someone considers this a bit there is a solution. My father was a cop, if you don't have to put the siren on, just put the lights on. I walk out on the balcony and there is a vehicle with a siren on an EMPTY STREET blasting his horn and siren! Is it their goal to make as much noise a possible? The goal is to let people who MAY get in the way know you're coming through right? If you want this downtown to grow and thrive, consider the routes the vehicles take and maybe provide some training on when to use the siren? I mean if the vehicle is only going the speed limit won't just hte lights do until they need to run a light? I know I'm moving as soon as I can.. I have dated on woman who left downtown because of it. I would start counting the siren complaints and take note unless you want your city to descend into mediocrity or worse (again).

The city employees that work the grounds do a fantastic job keeping the Mirror Lake park property really looking great.

However, the water quality and amount of trash in the water is really getting bad. I'm a bit concerned for the folks that fish and eat the fish out of the lake as well as the surrounding wildlife.

Here's a photo from early this morning where you can see a dead turtle in amongst the trash. This turtle appears a bit young to have died of natural causes.

Hopefully something can be done.

Thanks again to the hard-working city employees in St Petersburg. We really appreciate you!

West side of 730 4th Ave N along Grove St N. Hex block sidewalk in need of repair.

Overgrowth, property card 19-31-17-74664-000-0010

Assorted shelving, table, TV, etc

Regular dumping of furniture and overflowing garbage. Creates and eyesore and blight. Ruins our neighborhood to have to be around garbage.

Heavy equipment drive over the hexblocks that made this sidewalk now very dangerous.

When will the fountain be turned back on in Mirror Lake?
